yes, hexbear is currently doing a donation drive to support and evacuate people in Gaza

the problem with hexbear is the same handful of users that have made it their hobby to complain incessantly about hexbear all over the fediverse

the most present politician in congress

The majority of that age range still considers China an enemy, but a tiny fraction of ambivalent onlookers out of an overwhelming majority of a reflexively anti-China populace is enough for the Economist to dedicate an article to a fucking YouGov poll.

It’s just another pearl-clutching “what’s wrong with today’s youths” headline to panic the elderly while flattering compliant millennials/zoomers for being one of the few (despite still being the majority!) “good ones” that march goose-step with consensus Western political thought.

Interview snippet for the incredulous deboonkers

Some of the arguments/memes I’m seen there are been shared by conservatives, using the same talking points

such as…? People can’t respond if you keep being vague about it.

objectively the moderate wing

Dude, kill the redditor in your head. This is my only fediverse account and by “deflecting again” I mean there’s a clear pattern of behavior in this thread that you avoid the topic altogether when you get called out on anything.

What do you mean “no use in 4 months”? Are you just used to lying at this point, hoping the people upvoting you won’t investigate your claims? My account is only 2 months old and I post like every other day. You’re probably just blocking or defederated from the instances I’m active in.

But this has nothing to do with the fact that you call yourself a socialist without knowing what materialism is.

You’re deflecting again. You said in another comment “they say they are communists yet they engage in materialism.” You could just own up and say that you don’t know what you’re talking about.

So like, do you understand what materialism means in socialist philosophy? It’s clear by the way you’ve used the word in this thread that you think it just means “likes having stuff.”

How do you run around calling yourself a socialist when you don’t even know what historical and dialectical materialism are?

Plus the original demand was 15 days of sick leave, and then a tepid 7-day sick leave proposal was sent to die in congress. It’s not a miracle that Biden was able to get 5 days. Breaking the strike with state power and then casting crumbs in our direction was a flex on the working class saying “nah you’ll only get what we allow you to have. You don’t deserve to demand shit.”

I’m not holding out any hope that this is anything more than a PR campaign like kneeling cops and kente scarves.

Recycle! Write to your senator! Vote!

this article is traitorous

West Taiwan -100000 social credit DAE Xinnie? XD

Fixing emote scaling would make it less jarring to see them out in the wild. The ppb moratorium has cleaned up threads a lot and hope it continues. Honestly at this point, I’m more annoyed by posts about hexbear/defederation than I am about the instance, especially people who have made it their entire personality to campaign for censoring it from lemmy entirely.

Curious

Global Times is published by People’s Daily though?
